NRC/DOE Management Meeting Summary DOE Las Vegas, NV; NRC Headquarters, Rockville, MD; CNWRA, San Antonio, TX

December 20, 2000, 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, EST

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) met on December 20, 2000, to discuss the status of various management and programmatic issues. This meeting summary includes a brief description of the discussions, the meeting agenda (attachment 1), the attendance list (attachment 2), a copy of handouts used (attachment 3), and the list of action items being tracked with their status (attachment 4).

Introductory Comments

There were no introductory comments by the NRC, DOE, Affected Units of Local Government (AULG), or other Interested Parties.

NRC Program Update

Mr. John Greeves (NRC) provided a summary of the DOE/NRC Quarterly Quality Assurance (QA) Meeting held December 19, 2000. He indicated that, based on the information presented at the QA meeting, DOE appeared to be meeting its goals for data and software qualification, and requested that the QA meeting continue to be held in advance of the Management Meeting.

Mr. Bill Reamer (NRC) provided updates on the status of 10 CFR Part 63, the Yucca Mountain Review Plan (YMRP), NRC's concurrence on 10 CFR Part 963, and NRC's sufficiency review. The status of these activities remains unchanged since the previous Management Meeting. He indicated that prelicensing consultations with DOE may need to be revisited depending on the differences between the final and proposed rules. He indicated that NRC expected DOE to submit a license application consistent with the guidance provided in YMRP for format and content. Mr. Reamer stated that no further action would be taken on the NRC's strategy and guidance for its sufficiency review until the final 10 CFR Part 63 is issued and the YMRP is revised to be consistent with the final rule. Regarding the Licensing Support Network (LSN) rulemaking, Mr. Reamer stated that the staff expected to complete its review of comments and provide its recommendations to the Commission early in 2001. He indicated that the timing of DOE's certification of LSN availability was one of the principal issues raised in the comments.

Ms. Judy Treichel (Nevada Nuclear Waste Task Force) asked if the final 10 CFR Part 63 would be issued before the YMRP so that it would be possible to see how comments on the rule were treated before reviewing the YMRP. Mr. Reamer stated that the final 10 CFR Part 63 would be issued and then changes would be made in the YMRP to make it consistent with the final rule.

DOE Program Update

Mr. Don Horton (DOE) indicated that milestones for licensing may change as a result of work currently being planned to address issues raised by the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (NWTRB). He stated that DOE would keep NRC informed of such changes. Mr. Horton briefly discussed the announcement by Secretary Richardson of an investigation by the DOE Inspector

1

General of allegations made regarding contractor bias. He stated that the Site Recommendation Consideration Report (SRCR) would not be issued until this investigation is complete. Mr. Horton also stated DOE's belief that the scientific and technical work conducted by the Program and reflected in its technical documents is unbiased and of high quality and provides the basis for the issue resolution process currently underway. Mr. Reamer said that the issue resolution process should proceed independently of the SRCR schedule. NRC staff would be amenable to an adjustment in the schedule for issue resolution due to a lack of people or resources, he added, but not to a shortening of its current 6-month schedule for sufficiency review of the SRCR.

Mr. Horton introduced Mr. Ken Hess, General Manager of the Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC. Mr. Dick Spence (DOE) provided a detailed discussion of the contractor transition process, its status and schedule for completion, including the turnover of ongoing work. Mr. Spence provided a complete list of the transition issues identified. Mr. Greeves also expressed interest in how the employee concerns program is being handled in the transition and indicated that he will follow-up with Mr. Horton. Mr. Greeves stated that NRC was interested in follow-up discussions on QA and other regulatory issues with DOE and its new M&O contractor after the transition period ends.

Key Technical Issues (KTI) Status

Ms. Carol Hanlon (DOE) reviewed the status of KTI resolution. Ms. Hanlon proposed a basis for closure of two KTIs (Structural Deformation and Seismicity, and Igneous Activity) for consideration by the NRC. Mr. Reamer stated that NRC would respond to this proposal as well as to proposed date changes for future KTI resolution meetings. Ms. Sandy Wastler (NRC) indicated that NRC was concerned by the potential delay in availability of the Features, Events, and Processes (FEPs) database for NRC review prior to a meeting on the Total System Performance Assessment and Integration (TSPAI) KTI. Ms. Hanlon indicated that DOE would keep NRC informed of the status of the FEPs database. Mr. Reamer (NRC) stated that the Chairman of the Commission had received a letter from Ms. Treichel regarding the issue resolution process and would be responding shortly.

Action Items

Mr. Tim Gunter (DOE) presented the status of action items from previous Management Meetings. He also presented a proposal for capturing action items in a list that would be updated after every meeting, included as part of the meeting summary, and discussed at the subsequent meeting. Actions identified as complete would be archived and deleted from the list for the next meeting.

New action items identified at this meeting (included on list of Action Items, attachment 4):

1. NRC will follow-up with DOE on Employee Concerns Program as part of transition. 2. DOE will provide NRC with clarification regarding which transition issues are related to

regulatory and QA matters. 3. A KTI breakout session will be held prior to the next Management Meeting.

2

4. DOE will provide an update on the status of FEPs database availability to NRC prior to the Technical Exchange on TSPAI KTI.

Closing Remarks

Mr. Horton emphasized that QA will continue to be important to DOE and that DOE will monitor implementation by the new M&O contractor.

Mr. Greeves stated that NRC will monitor DOE's implementation of its QA program and that he wants an opportunity to meet with the new contractor to share NRC perspectives on past history.

No closing remarks were made by the AULG or other Interested Parties.
